Afraid.
When you are not afraid to lose, that is when you will win.
When you are not afraid of dieing, that is when you will live.
When you are not afraid of poverty, that is when you will have plenty.
When you are not afraid of fear, that is when you will find courage.
When you are not afraid to share, that is when you will receive.
When you are not afraid to Love, that is when you will be Loved.
When you are not afraid of the dark, that is when you will find the light.
When you are not afraid of decisions, that is when you will find wisdom.
When you are not afraid of yourself, that is when you will find freedom.
